Woongkir Plugin affect performance sicnificantly for specific page

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out and providing the details regarding the performance issue you’re experiencing with the Woongkir plugin.

The performance issue you’re noticing, is likely caused by the fact that the Woongkir plugin needs to make a request to an external API server located at RajaOngkir.com to calculate shipping costs. This API request introduces additional time to the process since the plugin relies on real-time data from the API.

However, Woongkir includes a caching mechanism that stores the results locally based on the request parameters. This means that once a request is made with specific parameters, the next time the same parameters are used, the result will be fetched from the local cache instead of querying the API again, which should help reduce the load time.

To improve performance further, you may want to consider upgrading to a PRO account with RajaOngkir.com. According to their service offering, PRO accounts use a dedicated server, which could process requests more quickly and help alleviate the delay during high-traffic events.

Another factor that might contribute to the performance issue is the number of couriers and services selected. The more couriers and services you select, the more time the API server will need to process the request.

Thank you for your response, this is the answer that I had previously expected, because I had previously contacted RajaOngkir and said the same thing, they assumed that the problem “the performance that occurred was not from their server but from the plugin” so they were not responsible for it

and I have also told them that for now I am using the Pro user API which should get a faster server than free users,

but the method regarding reducing the number of active couriers is a good idea maybe I need to try it

Also, are there any other alternatives to the RajaOngkir API that can be used by the Woongkir plugin?
